Just an FYI for anyone reading...it really does smell the worst
We gave it a bit of a clean out earlier and now he's doing his usual chocolate Bananas again.
So weird. I'm guessing this is now a regular thing?
Hi
If you are dealing with impaction, yes, it is right up there with abscesses.
And it sounds like you are in the early stages of it. Please follow our diet re. foods and strict regularity because that can help stabilise it and slow it down - depending on the general deterioration and any other factors that could play into it. Initially you may not need to clear him out daily.
